"Activate the Skynet System, video relay tracking, I want the real-time trajectory of this vehicle!"
"Yes!"
The command was instantly relayed through the internal communication system.
Meanwhile, the dispatcher maintained a serious expression, though a hint of excitement and thrill from being involved in a major criminal case flickered in their eyes. Their speech was fast yet clear:
"Attention all units, a kidnapping case has occurred in the Development Zone. The suspect vehicle is a black Mercedes-Benz, license plate Ba A87777, last seen heading east on Prosperity Road. All patrol groups and traffic police motor units along the route, immediately intercept and inspect."
"Motor units Five and Six, you're the closest. Tail the vehicle immediately, maintain distance, and await support."
The video team officers at the Command Center simultaneously accessed surveillance footage from shops, residential areas, and businesses along the route, piecing together the complete driving trajectory of the vehicle.
Meanwhile, the data team officers swiftly searched for vehicle registration information and related personnel clues in the background.
"Attention to patrol and motor units, set up roadblocks at highway service areas, toll stations, and traffic lights. Guide social vehicles to avoid the area."
The dispatcher's voice continued to resonate.
"Director Zhao," a police officer suddenly looked up, speaking rapidly, "the suspect's direction is towards the general aviation airport, possibly preparing to flee."
"Airport?" Director Zhao's brows instantly furrowed.
Involving civil aviation facilities and airspace far exceeded the jurisdiction of their Development Zone branch.
"Immediately report this situation to the Municipal Public Security Bureau Command and Intelligence Center, request coordination and support, and notify the airport police!"
"Yes!"
The message was reported layer by layer, and within seconds, the Ba City Public Security Bureau Command and Intelligence Center fully took over command.
"Notify the Development Zone branch, the Municipal Bureau will take unified command. Set up checkpoints along all necessary routes."
"Establish a joint on-site command center with the airport police immediately!"
"Set up multiple interception points on all necessary roads within a ten-kilometer radius of the airport, equipped with vehicle-stopping equipment. Do not allow the vehicle to approach the core area of the terminal!"
"Order the airport to immediately close entrances and exits, raise anti-collision barriers, and strictly check all personnel and vehicles entering and exiting. Clear the area if necessary!"
"Evacuate personnel around the terminal..."
"..."
One command after another was issued from the Municipal Bureau Command Center, methodically and systematically spreading out.
Police stations, special duty units, and traffic police detachments along the route swung open their doors, and fully armed officers rushed into police cars and assault vehicles.
Police lights flashed as one vehicle after another exited the gates, merging into the main road traffic.
The June sun shone on the skyscrapers of Ba City, making it an otherwise ordinary afternoon.
But citizens on the streets gradually sensed something unusual.
Special police black assault vehicles, motor units, and patrol cars roared past on the main roads, police lights flashing as they approached and then receded.
Soon, news alerts popped up on various platforms: "A suspected kidnapping case has occurred in our city. The police have intervened and are fully investigating..."
The brief news was quickly pushed through major platforms, quietly climbing onto the local trending list.
It sparked intense discussion among citizens.
A kidnapping case? That's rare.
Haven't seen one in years.
Lu Jingxiu drove the eye-catching Aston Martin, following leisurely behind the black Mercedes-Benz.
Barely two minutes had passed when two motor units sped up from behind, engines roaring.
One slowed down and approached, the traffic officer gesturing for him to pull over.
Lu Jingxiu obediently pulled the car to the side and lowered the window.
"Comrade, you're the one who reported the case, right?" The traffic officer spoke quickly, not waiting for him to answer before continuing, "Don't follow anymore, it's dangerous ahead. Leave the rest to us."
With that, he saluted, twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle roared as it sped away.
The police lights quickly shrank, disappearing into the traffic ahead.
"Tsk, they're quick." Lu Jingxiu shrugged as he watched the motor units disappear, raising the window again.
What a joke, the most exciting part was just beginning. How could he not follow?
Not watching the excitement, would he still be a Xia citizen?
Lu Jingxiu dismissed the traffic officer's words as mere noise, driving to catch up again.
Meanwhile, on Tracy's side, things were starting to heat up due to a call from Lu Jingxiu.
"Woo—woo wah woo wah—beep!"
A patrol car quickly approached from behind, and as it neared the Mercedes-Benz, the officer's voice came through the loudspeaker.
"Attention black Mercedes-Benz ahead! We are the Development Zone Traffic Police Detachment First Brigade, pull over immediately for inspection!"
"Beep, beep beep—woo—!"
The piercing siren and loudspeaker announcements blared simultaneously again.
"Ba A87777, black Mercedes-Benz! Pull over immediately!"
Lin Yutang, originally sandwiched between two men in the back seat, was groggy and filled with despair from the constant shaking, her mind a foggy haze.
But that voice was like someone had suddenly poured a bucket of cold water into that fog, jolting her awake.
Police?!
This profession that could bring her a sense of security immediately sent a shock through her heart.
There were police?!
Could she be saved?
She turned her head sharply, looking out through the rear window.
A patrol car was closely following the Mercedes-Benz, the red and blue police lights flashing alternately, the blinding light sweeping across her retinas in circles.
The siren blared briefly, then was cut off, sounding particularly jarring, urging persistently.
On the left lane, two traffic police motor units with flashing lights approached.
One accelerated to the left front of the Mercedes-Benz, while the other paralleled the driver's side, the officer controlling the handlebars with one hand, gesturing with the other for the driver to pull over immediately.
Lin Yutang's heart began to pound violently.
Her gaze was filled with a final glimmer of hope.
"Ba A87777, black Mercedes-Benz! Last warning! Pull over immediately!" The announcement sounded again, more stern than before.
The driver's hand clenched tightly on the steering wheel.
He was just doing a job for money.
The Tracy Family had hired him on this side of Xia, paying generously, and the job wasn't complicated—just driving and picking up.
Occasionally, there were scenes that weren't pleasant, or things he shouldn't see, but there was always an extra hush money payment afterward.
With enough money, he kept his mouth shut, acting as if he hadn't seen anything.
But being chased by a police car was a first.
He wasn't a desperado and had never experienced such a situation.
In the rearview mirror, the red and blue police lights flashed repeatedly, making his eyes blur.
The loudspeaker's announcements were clear even through the car window, each more urgent than the last.
On the left was the motor unit, behind was the patrol car.
He instinctively swallowed, his palms sweating on the steering wheel.
The car kept moving forward, speed unchanged, but he could feel his heartbeat becoming erratic.
The driver turned his head slightly, asking in a somewhat flustered voice, "Young master, what should we do?"
